Burn It Down

She reached into the barrel
To find something to fill her up
Turns out that she was looking down the barrel
Of a loaded gun

The only thing that she asked for
Was some fruit to keep her fed
But somehow they say that what she asked for
Was to get filled up with lead

Well the trees are filled with poison
'Cause it seeps up from the ground
When the orchard has gone rotten
You've got to burn the whole thing down

Burn it down
Burn it down
When the orchard has gone rotten
You've got to burn the whole thing down

It seemed like such a simple goal
Just to keep the doctor away
But now it seems like the bushel's been spoiled
And we're stuck with the decay

Well the trees are filled with poison
'Cause it seeps up from the ground
When the orchard has gone rotten
You've got to burn the whole thing down

Burn it down
Burn it down
When the orchard has gone rotten
You've got to burn the whole thing down

Dare I hope
There's a better plan
On this land
For the masses
From these ashes?

Well the trees are filled with poison
'Cause it seeps up from the ground
When the orchard has gone rotten
You've got to burn the whole thing down

Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
When the orchard has gone rotten
You've got to burn the whole thing down
